Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Kyiv has been urged by some of its global partners to scale back attacks on Russian oil infrastructure following turmoil on global energy markets.

The Ukrainian president said he was ready to stop hitting Russian facilities if Moscow halts its own attacks, according to audio responses to questions from reporters posted on Monday. Kyiv is ready for a ceasefire any time and a truce for Easter is one option, he said.
